Abstract

Microstructure, hardness and fatigue properties of X30N high nitrogen stainless bearing steel were investigated. It was found that nitrogen addition could effectively reduce the amount and size of coarse carbides. The original austenite grain size was obviously refined. Additionally, more retained austenite was found in X30N steel after quenching at 1050 °C, which could be reduced from about 30% to about 6% by cold treatment at − 73 °C and subsequent tempering, and thus, the ultimate hardness was increased up to about 61 HRC with reduction of austenite and precipitation of carbonitrides. Furthermore, the rolling contact fatigue lives of X30N steel are superior to those of 440C steel, which was attributed to the enhanced hardness and a certain retained austenite in the high nitrogen steel.
